A$AP Rocky Found Guilty in Swedish Assault Case

 A$AP Rocky was found guilty by the Swedish court for an altercation that happened last month in Stockholm. 

Reports are stating that if Rocky had been found not guilty, then Sweden could have owed the rapper millions. According to Swedish law a person is allowed to seek reimbursement for the money they lost during their time in jail if the defendant is found not guilty, meaning A$AP Rocky could have claimed back all the money he lost due to the cancelation of 12 European tour dates. The estimated sum comes in at just over $1 million USD.

It was also announced that the rapper will not need to return to the European country and has been ordered to pay a fine of kr12,500 SEK in total (approximately $1,302 USD) to the victim; he was also given a suspended sentence of two years probation with no additional jail time. “The assault has not been of such a serious nature that a prison sentence must be chosen,” the court said in a statement. “The defendants are therefore sentenced to conditional sentences.”
